Overview
Digital day and night rifle scope built around Sony's STARVIS 2 sensor, ED glass lenses, and a 60Hz 1920x1080 Micro-OLED display, with a built-in infrared illuminator and no laser rangefinder on this version.
The STARVIS 2 sensor and Micro-OLED display are the components reviewers point to most for image quality, both in daylight and after the sun goes down, and several who upgraded from older analog or budget digital night vision describe a real jump in clarity and unit size. Battery life draws mixed reports, with some reviewers satisfied using the included 21700 cells and others buying upgraded batteries to extend runtime, so budget for spares if long sessions matter. A handful of buyers received units with early defects such as failure to power on or trouble holding zero, though in the cases described, DNT's customer service replaced the units or handled it under warranty without argument.
- Sony STARVIS 2 sensor with ED glass lenses
- 60Hz 1920x1080 Micro-OLED display, 1800 nit peak brightness
- Built-in infrared illuminator for night use
- Five adjustable brightness levels
Who it's for
Suits hunters who want a single scope that works from daylight through full dark without swapping optics, including hog hunters working out to a few hundred yards. Less suited to anyone needing a built-in laser rangefinder, since this version excludes that feature, or to buyers unwilling to deal with an occasional early defect that needs a warranty exchange.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who upgraded from older digital or analog night vision scopes describe a clear improvement in image clarity, size, and weight, and several report the scope held zero reliably across different rifle calibers. A few noted inconsistent battery life or received early units with defects such as failing to power on or drifting off zero, though in each case described, customer service replaced the unit or resolved it under warranty.
